Lawmakers, aides may get Obamacare exemption

The talks — which involve Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio), the Obama administration and other top lawmakers — are extraordinarily sensitive, with both sides acutely aware of the potential for political fallout from giving carve-outs from the hugely controversial law to 535 lawmakers and thousands of their aides. Discussions have stretched out for months, sources said.

Does anybody really think that the grifters and con men who run our country are in it for the health care benefits? And if those stop they'll all just walk away from the power not to mention the trillions of dollars they loot from the taxpayers?

ROFLMAO

There should be term limits for everyone we send to Washington. Health benefits would cease when they leave office. High percentage are lawyers who can return to their practices.
